The topic at the Zhenguo Palace has gradually changed from how to extract the truth from He Yi Dun to how to be self-reliant and find a way to solve the current unfavorable situation. The progress is very rapid. As for when to fight He Yi Dun again, everyone Everyone said there was no rush and the longer the better, forcing Tsurugi Atsushi to take the initiative.
He Yidun was completely unaware of the plans of the Duke of Zhenguo. Now he was in a very complicated mood. He was both happy and regretful about Xue Rui's reaction of walking away.
Happily, Xue Ruitian's reaction was within the expectations of the Liu family head. Unfortunately, a distinguished member of the Xue family who has made great contributions to the Xia Dynasty will soon be burdened with a stigma and infamy that will never be washed away.
"Brother Yi Dun." The older man came to He Yi Dun and handed him a bowl of water. "Drink some water. What are you thinking about?"
"Thanks, brother!" He Yidun took the bowl of water and took a sip, "What do you think of Xue Ruitian's reaction?"
"Let's be strong on the outside but strong on the inside. On the surface, you may be aggressive, but in fact you have no confidence in your heart."
The older man was the only one among all the brothers under He Yitun who knew the truth. Every time He Yitun met the head of the Liu family, he was always by his side, and he knew all their plans.
"Do you also think he has no idea?"
"If he didn't pursue Madam Xianhou's unjust case and insisted on overturning Madam Xianhou's case, maybe we could still doubt whether he knew the inside story, but now..." The older man shook his head gently, "He definitely doesn't know. The Xue family is actually involved in a bottomless whirlpool."
"A bottomless whirlpool." Tsurugi Atsushi nodded, "This description is very appropriate."
"I just find it strange that the Xue family protects their only heir so well? They actually hide this kind of thing from him and don't let him know. Is this really good for him? He only knows now, no Do you feel like the sky is falling?"
"Perhaps they think it's good for him!" Tsurugi Atsushi sighed softly, "We don't need to say that other people's parents are irresponsible. Our parents are also like this, right?"
"Speaking of it, it's true."
"The past was told to us only after we became adults. Only when we were sure that we were truly capable of doing things for the family were we allowed to take over these things. But this Marquis..." Tsurugi Atsushi sighed, "It sounds like he's a pretty pitiful person, right?"
"That's right!" The older man agreed with He Yitsushi's statement. "Both of his parents passed away before he reached the prime of life. He not only had to bear the responsibility of the entire Hou family, but also shouldered the responsibility together with his brothers. The important task of guarding the border of Daxia. This is very difficult for a child of fourteen or fifteen years old. We were all adults before our parents told us the truth, but before he could reach adulthood, his parents passed away. It makes sense not to know this. But..."
"But what?" Tsurugi Atsushi looked at his old friend, "Just say what you want to say."
"Is the Duke of Zhen Guo's Mansion also unaware of this?" The older man looked at He Yidun, "The old Duke and the old Marquis grew up together, and the current Duke and the Marquis also grew up together. Big one, people say they are closer than real brothers. Would the old prince hide this from his brother? If the old prince knew the inside story, would he not tell his son? "
"The old Duke and his wife also lived very early. They can be said to be on the same footing as the late Marquis. Are you sure that he had the opportunity to tell his son this? Brother, you may not know very well at that time. Jiapingguan City is not like it is now. It is not peaceful at all. There are wars every day. People from Liao and Jin Dynasties are always provocative. I heard that the current Duke of Guo didn’t even have time to keep vigil for his deceased parents, so he led his troops. On the battlefield, I fought with the Jin people for three whole days."
"Is this so?" The older man looked shocked. "It's really difficult to arrest the general here. It's not easy."
"Isn't that right!" He Yidun patted his old friend, "We can now cause trouble unscrupulously, all because they have created an environment for us, so we only have to target the Xue family, and the rest Don’t move.”
"However, the Liu family leader means to shake the defense line of Jiapingguan City."
"Shake the border defense line?" He Yidun sneered, "He really dares to say it, and you really dare to believe it. We can shake this defense line just by ourselves? What are you dreaming about?"
"Didn't you say that you want to give that side a chance?" The older man raised his chin in the direction of Jin Guo, "If it succeeds, we will have done a great job."
"A great achievement?" Tsurugi Atsushi sneered, "I don't know if they can succeed, but if we do it, it will be infamy for eternity."
"But the Liu family..."
"What does that old guy know?" He Yidun rolled his eyes, "Does he really think that people in the Song family are vegetarians? Did he think that the emperor didn't even know about his hookup with the man in the palace? Didn't his daughter know about his coaxing?" Seeing his old buddy looking at him in shock, he sneered, "I just saw that he couldn't succeed, so I didn't pay attention to him. I didn't want to waste this time. I don’t have enough strength, and I don’t want to cause trouble. But who would have thought that after so many years, all the old people who could make a big impact are gone, and he killed his only opponent, the Luan family, and became the real person in charge? "
"But don't we still want him to help us take revenge?"
"Revenge is okay, but just don't follow him and make mistakes. He said that we should fight for Xue Ruitian, so we will fight for it. We will not do any other instructions. We will not take the blame for him. The Song family and the Shen family are not vegetarians. Don't say that we don't have the ability to cause chaos here, even if we do, we can't do it. When the time comes, the old guy from the Liu family will cry out that he was wronged and said that it has nothing to do with him, it was all our doing, but we can't argue and can't come up with anything. We need to provide evidence to prove him and exonerate ourselves, right?”
"Will he?"
"Isn't it possible?" Tsurugi Atsushi rolled his eyes, "When he told you to destroy the defense line, did he leave you a note? Or do you have any evidence? None, right? That failed After that, how do you say that this was his instigation and not your own willful action? He has many ways to frame you, so what should you do? "
The older man didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he sighed softly and spread his hands towards He Yitsushi.
"I now understand what you said earlier."
"What?"
"Don't have a close relationship with Liu, lest you get tricked by him without knowing it." The older man looked at He Yidun, "I was thinking at the time that there is a big enemy in front of me, and a big revenge has not been avenged, so I can't trick my own people. , I thought you were thinking too much, but I didn’t expect that, looking at it today, I was still too naive.”
